Minor issues, but I guess it does show....

The strap keeper is not straight neither are the ends glued.



Also the stitching....



Honestly, im not as observant as you Hobbit.. In a good way i mean.. But for me the feeling or how comfortable it wears that matters. OEM straps still the best but for the
pricetag :HammerHead: also I like my straps a bit longer..

as for high price=high Q  :-X  I will be happy to buy a good quality strap with low price if any.. :thumbsup:
can't afford any top grade watches, so have to be content with straps only d...  :Cheers:

OEM strap actually not that expensive. Some independent can cost just as much if not more. I agree that the OEM strap is comfortable but some of them are really thin. I like my straps thick and tough. Just got the Heroic18 strap. I like it plenty. Tough and I am sure it will patina as well.

James does not have an equivalent product as per Donald (from what I have seen). But in terms of overall quality and finish, I will still go with James. I have one of James Swiss Ammo and I have to say it is one of my favourite straps. It is thick and 'brutal'. Very tough and you can feel it. I like Donald's choice of leather and colour, perhaps he is a bigger outfit or has more resources at his disposal. I know that James have limited resources and limited access to quality leather.

Well the next person to check out is George Lam and Ted Su. I have seen Ted's straps and they do look good. Have not tried them on personally. Will report more once I use them.
